From the shadows, a massive creature lunged forward. Its eyes gleamed red as it revealed its monstrous form—a hulking beast with spiny armor and large fangs, clearly above level 75. It roared, charging straight at him.
Alex didn't flinch. With a fluid motion, he sent the ice spear hurtling toward the creature, a blast of cold energy following in its wake. The beast snarled and tried to dodge, but the spear struck its shoulder with a bone-crushing impact, freezing the wound instantly.
The creature staggered, momentarily stunned, and Alex seized the opportunity. He raised his other hand, summoning a wave of fire. The flames erupted from his palm, surging toward the creature with terrifying speed.
The beast howled in agony as the fire scorched its skin, the heat so intense it turned the air around it to crackling smoke. The creature staggered back, its movements sluggish as it struggled against the flames.
